Q?-How far are you willing to drive for a direct flight?

Many of us are too far from a "Hub,Major" airport with direct MoBay flights...that said, we have a regional airport right here that connects us to either ATL, MEM,or Charlotte...but when you extrapolate the airfare $$$$...and the fact that our last 2 departures out were delayed, causing me to "literally" almost have a heart attack running to our gate to "catch" the door before it closed...To drive to either Atlanta or Memphis from the FL panhandle is 4-5 hours each way...wife says next time,she wants to drive....who else can chime in on this? there is the long term parking issues, and possibly more hotel nights/meals...and who wants to drive 5 hours after flying 4 and another 1-2 in customs?
